Reformulating museological narrative using three models of cinematic interactivity

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This study aims to dramatically enhance the presentational flexibility of museum information delivery through the application of an immersive system of cinematic visualisation, modelling the integration of three kinds of interactive narrative. By allocating selective agency to both objects displayed and to viewers within a virtual environment, the system allows museum visitors to invest even static artefacts with a range of vivid narrative purpose. Through its installation within a major exhibition of the decorative arts at the Powerhouse Museum, Sydney, the application tests the semantic scope, museological integrity, and the interactive autonomy of the narrative agents foreshadowed in the model.
